Detox Water: The Benefits You're Missing Out On

Whether you call it detox water, fruit infused water or spa water, you know there's something that has to be healthy (and tasty) about these infused waters that everybody's talking about. Well, this is the one time you should go against what your mom taught you and follow the crowd!

If you're trying to lose weight, rid your body of toxins, better hydrate yourself, or you just need a different flavor for your water, detox water is definitely a must in your daily regimen. Some benefits include:
  • Boosts your energy and metabolism.
  • Rids your body of excess toxins.
  • Improves your skin.
  • Helps promote weight loss.
  • Keeps you and your organs hydrated. (Duh! It's water!)


There are countless recipes to infuse your water and each one has its own significant taste, so you can easily find one or two or three that just might work for you! If none listed below sound appeasing, just a quick Pinterest or Google search will help you find exactly what you're looking for! Here are 3 of my favorites:
